The Heart Exam
Irv O. Neil

Worriedly waiting to take an important medical test, a bemused but melancholy older man in New York City, a professional writer of erotica, continually daydreams about a beautiful young woman, a creative and witty dominatrix in Ireland, who has captured his imagination and heart online.
How Barry Alan Brensky comes to terms with what Divine Duchess Noreen can realistically mean to him, and why, is the intriguing subject of this thoughtful but quietly passionate “slice of life” story by the author of Mugged By Love, When a Woman Scowls, and Fate of a Stripper.
Although it is not erotica, The Heart Exam is a 5000+ word story that features some adult themes, and therefore its rueful romance is for readers at least 18 years old, or 21, depending on your location.
